I know! Some of the people there have been horribly mangled, Jiraiya gets stabbed in the back a few times and a resurrection is impossible?!
I MISS PERVY SAGE GOSH DARN IT. Him, Tsunade, Minato and Kushina are my favourite characters (all either dead or ripped in two
.) I just always liked he wasn't pretentious or made out to be some cool heroic dude but was just this lazy, perverted old man... and yet he's one of, if not the strongest guy in the manga. (Bar all the power-upping lately.)
I take it Kakashi is your favourite?
Same here, not gonna lie, many tears were shed when they were sealing the Kyuubi.
I'm not really a fan of Kushina in that way (dat Mizukage tho
) but just Minato and Kushina and their story as a whole is one of the best things Kishi did.
Never met a super fangirl before, did know a few Deidara and Gaara fans, though. And to be honest I'm the same, I claim I'm over Naruto and don't bother with it anyone but can't help but keep up with what goes on.
I keep hoping Kishimoto will pull out of the nosedive he's been in for the past few years.
Have you read Road to Ninja?
